Distraction Tracker helps you gently log every internal urge and external interruption, spot your patterns, and quietly reclaim your focus — one logged distraction at a time.
Free forever · No credit card needed · Your data stays private
Most people try to fight distraction blindly. They download blockers, set timers, and muddling through their way through the afternoon. It doesn’t last — because they’ve never actually looked at what’s pulling them away, or why.
“The cure for distraction is not more willpower — it’s becoming indistractable.”
Nir Eyal — Author of Indistractable
Most distractions begin as an internal feeling — anxiety, boredom, uncertainty. Without logging them, you repeat the same patterns every day.
Is 2pm your danger zone? Does Slack cost you three hours a day? Without data, you can only guess.
Awareness is the first step in Nir Eyal’s framework. Distraction Tracker gives you a quiet, private space to build that awareness systematically.
Most people try to fight distraction blindly. They download blockers, set timers, and white-knuckle their way through the afternoon. It doesn’t last — because they’ve never actually looked at what’s pulling them away, or why.

Distraction Tracker is built directly on the distinction Nir Eyal makes in his bestselling book Indistractable — the most important insight most people miss.
Not all distractions come from outside. Most begin inside — as a feeling you’re trying to escape. When you know which type is affecting you, you can respond to it intelligently rather than just resist it.
Uncomfortable feelings you try to escape through distraction — the root cause of most focus loss.

“I’d read Indistractable twice and still wasn’t doing anything with the ideas. This app made the practice effortless.”
“The AI analysis after my first week was genuinely surprising. I thought my problem was Slack. Turns out it was anxiety about a project.”
“So calm to use. No gamification nonsense, no streaks pressuring me. Just a quiet place to be honest with myself.”
The core app is free — always. Pay only for the features that go deeper.

Do I need to have read Indistractable to use this?
Not at all. The onboarding explains everything you need to know about internal and external triggers. The app works beautifully as a standalone tool — the book is simply the intellectual foundation it’s built on.
Is my data private? Who can see my distractions?
Only you. Your distraction log is entirely private and is never shared with third parties or used for advertising. We are GDPR compliant, store data in the EU, and you can export or delete everything at any time.
How does the AI analysis work?
You select the distraction entries you want to explore, click “Analyse”, and AI reviews them through the lens of Nir Eyal’s framework — identifying root triggers, time-of-day patterns, and one or two specific, actionable recommendations. The first 5 analyses are completely free.
Will there be a mobile app?
Yes. Android and iOS apps are on the roadmap. For now, the web app is fully mobile-responsive and can be saved to your home screen as a PWA (Progressive Web App) for a near-native experience.
Why is there a donation prompt?
We believe your attention tool should never be an attention-harvesting tool. No ads means no ad revenue — so occasionally we’ll gently ask if you’d like to support the project. It’s always optional, always gracious, and you can dismiss it with no consequence.
Can I delete my account and all my data?
Absolutely. Your Settings page includes a one-click account deletion that permanently removes all your data from our servers. No waiting, no support ticket required.
